Freezing and
Canning Workshop Set for June
Gardeners and other lovers of fresh produce are often interested in
extending the season’s bounty by learning more about home-preserving
fruits and vegetables. Now they can, by attending a free “Food
Preservation Workshop,” presented by Ohio State University Extension,
Darke County, at 603 Wagner Avenue, Greenville.
There will be three sessions to the workshop:
June 7 – Pressure Canning
June 14 – Freezing Fruits and Vegetables
June 21 – Jams, Jellies and Preserves
Each session is from 10:00am-11:00am. All sessions are
free. Class size is limited to 20.
The workshop focuses on the basics of home canning and preservation and
is appropriate for people with all levels of experience.
We emphasize the science behind preservation. We want everyone
who cans or freezes fresh fruits and vegetables to understand why
certain procedures must be followed precisely to ensure a high quality,
safe product that they and their family can enjoy.
All pressure canner gauges except weighted gauges should be tested for
accuracy each year. Canner gauge testing is available for $5.00.
To reserve a spot in the class, contact OSU Extension, Darke County, at
937-548-5215 or email Diane Barga at <barga.8@osu.edu>.
